What are the benefits of using a fully motorized microscope system? It’s an excellent question, and one that can be fully answered when looking at some motorized scope options.
First, let’s look at overall combined benefits. When all components are fully motorized, calibration through your imaging software is seamless. Your software will align the focus point or drift between objectives, allowing the image to stay in focus when changing magnification. The software will also align any XY shift between objectives. This will keep a point of interest that’s in the center of the field of view to remain in the center even when switching between objectives. Your software will physically move the XY location. Your imaging software will also set values to peak performance depending on the imaging method and/or objective lens selection.
